Steven Harper's Hair -- very funny joke


Amid the furor and embarrassment of the state and military secrets revealed in the latest Wikileaks data dump, there is perhaps some reason for pride among Canadians in keeping at least one important state secret. Buried in the thousands of pages are a few telling lines that point to Ottawa’s steadfast defense of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Unmovable Hair. It appears that Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, was inundated with calls from world leaders and military chiefs in the wake of this summer’s rainy G20 meetings in and around Toronto. It did not go unnoticed that while wind and rain assailed many a presidential coiffure, come photo time Harper’s hair was as unruffled and well-ordered as a Ken doll’s. 

Hoping to coat the undersides of Humvees and helicopters in war zones with this seemingly indestructible unguent that protects yet provides volume and shine, foreign powers had their entreaties rebuffed again and again, “lest the secret fall into the wrong hands.” Having grown weary of the constant requests, a clearly peeved Harper responded sharply to one unnamed European chancellor, telling her to “get [her] own damn tailings pond.”

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b)...

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Janet Yellen from China supporter to Hawk...

There is rarely serious news in the world these days, it seems that most newspapers are filled with headlines and little else, and then Ms Yellen went to China.  Secretary Yellen has long been known in the Biden administration as the voice of moderation when dealing with China, yet as her trip which concluded yesterday a hawk was born:  She warned the Chinese against dumping goods in the United States.    fighting words! The American administration is very concerned about the lack of Chinese domestic consumption.   Even before the COVID-19 epidemic, there were already the beginning signs of a slowdown, automobile sales were off.   China is facing domestic deflation (a clear sign of collapsing demand) China imports few consumer goods, they import raw materials and intermediary goods.   It seems that the American administration is concerned that the Chinese administration will dump consumer goods abroad to keep its manufacturing machinery ...
